What is the common pricing method in the technical writing business? Do you
have Firm Fixed Price Contracts, i.e. customers pay per page, or is it
common to use some kind of cost-plus approach, i.e. customers pay costs plus
8% for example?
Would you say that customers are price sensitive which means they would
react on price increases? Do they expect technical writers to take
substantial risk?

Thanks.
